Chapter 3

"Well, um…" Lily tried to get the words out but the tears began falling immediately.

John reached over and took her hand in his, giving it a reassuring squeeze. Lily squeezed his hand back.

"Take your time Ms. Cena." Dr. Richards said.

"Well, Mama went out with her boyfriend Marvin and came home drunk and probably under the influence of drugs. Marvin was with her. Anyways, Mama started yelling at me for no reason and I got upset and yelled back. I know I shouldn't have yelled back but Mama made me so mad. Anyways, Marvin began yelling at me and slapped me across the face." Lily had to pause for a minute because she was starting to really get upset.

John continued to hold his little girl's hand reassuringly. Randy sat in the other chair trying to hide his growing anger. The two wrestlers wanted to go back to Marissa's house and pound the crap out of that SOB Marvin.

"Anyways, I grabbed the phone and ran up to my room, locking the door behind me. Daddy gave me his cell number so that I can call him whenever I want or need to. So I found his number and called him to come get me. A little bit later, Marvin came to my room and forced his way in. Then…he...umm...he…said he was gonna make it…so that I wouldn't sit comfortably for a long time. Then…then...he...he…" Lilyana was crying so hard now that she couldn't take anymore.

John picked her up and put her on his lap, hugging her and rubbing circles on her back.

"Shh, it's ok baby girl. Daddy's here. You are safe now princess."

"I was so scared Daddy. It hurt so badly. It was like I was on fire from the backs of my legs to part way up my back. He kept hitting me with his belt." The girl cried in her Daddy's strong arms.

"Shh baby. It is all over now. Daddy has you." John soothed and comforted his little girl.

Once she was calmed down, John placed Lily back into the hospital bed.

"Mr. Cena could I speak with you for a moment in private?" the doctor asked.

"Of course." John replied and followed the doctor out. Randy stayed with Lilyana trying to keep her calm and safe.

The doctor explained that he would have to call the police and Lily would then have to give them a statement as well. John understood and thanked the doctor for being honest. The two then went back into Lily's room so Dr. Richards could examine her.

After that, he left but not before informing them that Lily would be getting x-rays. It didn't take long for the radiologic technologist (x-ray tech) to take her down to the radiology department.

Once there they took many x-rays of the child and then took her back to her room.

"Ok, you just be a good girl and wait here. The doctor will be back in once he looks at the x-rays we just took." the nice tech told her.

Lily smiled and thanked the lady and then settled into the bed. She was starting to hurt again and let out a little cry of pain.

"Are you Ok Princess?" Randy asked.

"Yeah, Uncle Randy, I just hurt a little."

A few minutes later Dr. Richards came back.

"Good news. Nothing is broken but there is severe bruising. I am going to give you something for the pain and swelling. Also I want you to take it easy for at least a few days. There is an officer here that would like to speak to you about what happened. Don't be afraid. She is on your side. Now here you go. Take this, it will help with the pain." he said while handing her an ibuprofen and some water.

Lilyana takes the medicine from the doctor gratefully and swallows it. The doctor walks out and a few seconds later a female officer walks in.

"Hello. My name is Detective Sherry Trenton. I need you to tell me what happened at your house tonight. Please start by giving me your full name." the detective said.

"My name is Lilyana Felicity Antoinette Cena, Ma'am." Lily replied politely.

"Can you tell me what happened?"

Lilyana repeats what she told the doctor to the detective. The detective is almost in tears when the child is done with her story.

"Don't worry. I will do everything I can to see to it that man never comes near you again." Sherry tells her.

After a few words are exchanged between Dr. Richards, Detective Trenton and John, Lilyana is released in the care of her daddy. John and Randy get Lily settled in the car and start the three hour drive towards the hotel. Bye this time it is already 6 am which means they won't be back to the hotel until 9. They listened to music as they drove and Lily fell asleep. John drove the first half of the trip.

Lily started crying in her sleep so John pulled over to check on her.

"Why don't I drive so you can sit with Lily?" Randy suggested.

John agreed and climbed into the back seat resting his daughter's head on his lap. He began petting the top of her head and she calmed down. Not long after being back on the road, John was sleeping as well.

When they got to the hotel, Randy woke John up.

"Hey bro, we're here."

"Thanks man. I appreciate you coming with me and driving the rest of the way." John said.

"Hey that's what a god fathers are supposed to do." Randy replied as he got out of the car and grabbed Lilyana's things from the trunk.

John got out and picked up his still sleeping little angel and carried her. The two friends and the child headed up to their rooms. Randy left Lily's stuff at John's room and then went to his own. Neither man could wait to climb into their beds for some much needed sleep.

John got Lily tucked into the extra bed in his room and then got himself ready for bed. As soon as he had climbed into his bed and his head hit the pillow, he was out. Randy got ready for bed and was out as soon as his head hit the pillow as well. It had been a long night.
